FEATURED SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT | CROSS SOUND FERRY ⚓️
Connecting communities across the Sound, and keeping our maritime traditions moving.
We’re proud to welcome Cross Sound Ferry aboard as a Featured Sponsor of the 36th Annual Greenport Maritime Festival!
Just down the road from Greenport at Orient Point, Cross Sound Ferry connects the North Fork with New London, Connecticut, carrying passengers, families, commuters, visitors and vehicles across Long Island Sound every day.
For those of us who live out here, the ferry is such a familiar part of life on the East End, the sight of the boats crossing the Sound, the trip out to Orient, and that feeling of being connected by water to our neighbors across the way. Their fleet itself carries some incredible maritime history. Among their vessels is the Cape Henlopen, originally the USS LST-510, which served during the D-Day invasion at Normandy in 1944 before eventually beginning a new chapter carrying passengers across Long Island Sound.
Cross Sound Ferry also helps visitors experience and learn about our waters through their Lighthouse Cruises, sharing the stories of the lighthouses and maritime landmarks that have guided generations of vessels through this region. That makes their support of Maritime Festival especially meaningful.
This weekend is about celebrating a village whose identity has always been shaped by the water, the vessels that travel it, the people who work on it, and the maritime connections that continue to link our communities today.
A huge thank you to Cross Sound Ferry for coming aboard as a Featured Sponsor and helping us celebrate Greenport’s maritime past, present and future. 💙⚓️
